Tube Screamer, I claim thee!

(Sorry, Character Zero.)

Thanks to everyone and this cool site.

PM sent and gear-vault registration completed.

PS-- what was the mod done to the Tube Screamer? Not that I know anything about that stuff. Just good to know for reference. (I'm a plug and play non-modder guy.)

MrSandMan

Right on.

Brian gets the Tube Screamer. The mod consist of a JRC4558 TS chip mod. It's a very favorable mod indeed.

Characterzero gets the Digitech Grunge

Redline gets the DOD Classic Tube

i got the slam punk yesterday.......... i have to say i am slightly impressed with it, for a plastic "punk" ibanez pedal this thing actually sounds effin awesome...... washburn super strat + slam punk + marshall DSL401 = van halen's first album tone....... nice NICE rock tones.

heh as a siddde note whilst repairing the 9V battery plug i decided to take a gander on what they had going on in the "slam punk", first side of the 4558 is the input gain stage that cascades into a back to back diode shunt to ground followed by the 2nd half of the 4558, not your standard ibanez TS because the diodes go to ground not in the feedback loop, so it's got the responsiveness of a SD-1 / TS style pedal but a bit more gain it's not too unlike a SD-1 really but the color is a little different i think due to a symetrical clipping instead of asymetric...... all in all it's a useful pedal, nice tone, only down fall really is the plastic case, not because it's plastic or isn't strudy (it actually seems quite rugged for a plastic case) but because it has NO sheilding at all and is noisy as hell, if it were re-housed in a metal case i'd say it's one of my favorite pedals........
